Best Answer

Ortho Cyclen and Ortho Tri-Cyclen have the same amount and type of estrogen, and the same type of progestin. Ortho Cyclen's active pills have the same amount of the progestin in every pill. In Tri-Cyclen, the progestin level varies from week to week. Both have a seven-day placebo period.
